One day, a poor boy who
was selling goods from
door to door to pay his
way through school, found
he had only one thin dime
left, and he was hungry.
He decided he would ask
for a meal at the next
house. However, he lost
his nerve when a lovely
young woman opened the
door. Instead of a meal he
asked for a drink of water.
She thought he looked
hungry so brought him a
large glass of milk. He
drank it slowly, and then
asked, How much do I
owe you?
You dont owe me
anything, she replied
Mother has taught us
never to accept payment
for a kindness. He said
Then I thank you from
my heart. His name was
Howard Kelly.
As Howard Kelly left that
house, he not only felt;
stronger physically, but his
faith in God and man was
strong also. He had been
ready to give up and quit.
Years later that young
woman became critically
ill. The local doctors were
baffled. They finally sent
her to the big city, where
they called in specialists to
study her rare disease. Dr.
Howard Kelly was called in
for the consultation. When
he heard the name of the
town she came from, a
strange light filled his
eyes.
Immediately he rose and
went down the hall of the
hospital to her room.
Dressed in his doctors
gown he we nt in to see
her. He recognized her at
once. He went back to the
consultation room
determined to do his best
to save her life. From that
day he gave special
attention to the case.
After a long struggle, the
battle was won. Dr. Kelly
requested the business
office to pass the final bill
to him for approval. He
looked at it, then wrote
something on the edge
and the bill was sent to
her room.
She feared to open it, for
she was sure it would take
the rest of her life to pay
for it all. Finally, she
looked, and something
caught; her attention on
the side as She read these
words..
Paid in full with one glass
of milk. (Signed) Dr.
Howard Kelly.
Tears of joy flooded her
eyes as her happy heart
prayed: Thank You, GOD,
that Your love has spread
abroad through human
hearts and hands.
